How to import a graph as a hover labels

nb — Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:59:56 GMT

Hi all, to improve the interactive aspects of my graph I am trying to add additional features to data points. How do you add additional graphs as a hover label to an individual data point?

Here's a link to detailed instructions. However, 95% of the time I just copy/paste following these steps:

Make a graph that you want as a hover label
Red Triangle...Save Script...To Clipboard
Create the graph that you want to add hover labels to
Right click on the white space in the graph from step 3...Hover Label...Paste Graphlet

Create a column and place the images you want to be displayed in the column. Then set the column to have a Label column property, and then when a graph is displayed and the pointer is over a data point, the image will be displayed.

See the sample data table, "Big Class Families" for an illustration of this.

Graphs - not just graph?
If you want to add more than one graph...

Unfortunately, for the hover label itself, additional graphs will be automatically removed - and for the graph that opens after click, the data filter doesn't work:

Hi Jed,

Thanks for your reply - I tried this and it works except that the graph is blank when I hover - it's not picking up the data. Does the graphlet data need to be in the same data table as the main graph? OR can I link them some way?

Any ideas?

Thanks

They generally need to be in the same data table, but Virtual Joins will work as well. Once you've made the virtual join, be sure to make the hover graph in the table with the final graph (i.e., make both graphs from the same table)--if you make the hover graph using the lookup table you'll see the same blank behavior in the hover graph.

Here are a few links on virtual joins, if you need them:
